"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Alright, if anybody saw my last couple of posts....that girl has agreed to go to prom with me.

I've been pretty AFC since she said she could go (which was today....yesterday she said she had to ask her mom lol). Then she asked me if I was buying both of the tickets, AND I SAID YES!!!!! ARRRGH. Why would I do that? oh well, that's done with. Now, she says that her parents want to meet me. She gave me her number today, and said to call her at 5. Obviously, I'm not gonna call at 5, but I guess I'll call tonight....

Anyway, any words of advice? I need to meet these parents as soon as possible, I suppose, but I have a feeling this could go very badly for me...
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Should I just call and try to get her out of the house first, then maybe meet the parents later?

I think some of the DJ's in the highschool forum could offer better advice.

The one thing that comes to mind though, is you need to be more confident.

My experience has been when you go into something with an attitude like "I don't wanna mess this up..." you usually do.

You're playing not to lose, when you should be playing to win.

Stop overthinking it and relax.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Yeah, thanks. You guys are right, of course...I'm just worried about one awkward phone convo I guess.

It's good to hear you got a date for prom man.

Parents are hella easy to please. Just shake their hand, give em small-talk, make them think you're a "nice young man" or w/e. I've never had problems impressing parents.

Are you really only nervous about parents?

First off, no big deal about payin for the prom ticket, its a small price to pay for not going stag. Secondly and more importantly, don't worry about the parents. Just be yourself, they'll just have a few questions for you. Unless you come across as a total jerk driving a muscle car, they're not going to stop her from going on the date at the 11th hour.

If you are the total jerk driving the muscle car, then you wouldn't be hear asking.

So just do it and don't worry. Have fun man, you only have one prom night and don't worry about having to seal the deal, just have fun.
